In the pale moonlight: I’m pissed because every single time I look for...

electricalice:

I’m pissed because every single time I look for fanfic/opinions/quotes/JUST STUFF about Shades of Grey I end up finding things about THE OTHER ONE, the one poorly written and horrible and porny (people, if you need to read a porn PLEASE at least read a good one!! there’s PLENTY OF IT. I don’t know…. classics! Classics never die: The story of O! Sir Stephen is a much more fascinating dom than Christian Grey!).

I’m tired.

so I’m gonna occupy the tag of THE OTHER ONE with spam:

this book is amazing.

Now I will cherish my spoon and protect it with my life so my descendant will inherit one among other cutlery.

YAY! shades of grey jasper fforde

The Colours of Shades of Grey

The color values as described in the book come from the Munsell color system as described by Albert Henry Munsell, and the “Ishihara”, a test used to determine one’s colour vision, is most likely a reference to Shinobu Ishihara, the inventor of the colour perception test.

Where is High Saffron?

Details within the story reveal that East Carmine is located in Wales (the A470 road is mentioned) and the description of the town close to the lower of a series of five dams reveal it to be Rhayader at the foot of the Elan Valley.[1] Nearby Rusty Hill was once Builth Wells [1], whereas the town of Vermillion used to be Hereford.[1] The town of High Saffron is on the coast beyond the dams, which suggests Aberystwyth.

I am a sad nerd.

schrodingerslunchbox:

I keep seeing all these posts about 50 Shades of Grey and I think, “Gasp! People are finally reading Jasper Fforde! He’s finally going to get the recognition he deserves! I’M GOING TO HAVE SOMEONE TO TALK TO ABOUT THIS BOOK!!” But then I realize that his book is just Shades of Grey and I cry a little on the inside.

THIS. I feel your pain.

“I’ve given up with even trying to understand parliament,” said Bowden. “They’re all sniveling toadies,” put in Millon. “If you even need a government,” added Stig, “you are a life-form flawed beyond redemption.” Jasper Fforde

“I didn’t set out to discover a truth. I was actually sent to the Outer Fringes to conduct a chair census and learn some humility. But the truth inevitably found me, as important truths often do, like a lost thought in need of a mind.” Jasper Fforde, Shades of Grey (via monamade)
